Your Guide to Authentic Regional Eats
On the portion of Charlie's menu devoted to eggs there is a category titled Ultimate Omelets. They are. There is nothing out of the ordinary in them – choices range from fajita chicken or chili filling to vegetarian specials – but Charlie's eggs are grand. I sat at the counter and watched my omelet made (at the suggestion of Patrick Evans-Hylton it was a potato omelet topped with "habinaro salsa") and didn't see the cook do anything special; yet the fluffy cloud of eggs that arrived on my plate was sheer elegance. In concert with a filling of crisp-fried potatoes and melted jack cheese, as well as that hot-pepper topping, it was one glorious breakfast. Potential accompaniments include biscuits, cornbread, Texas toast and grits. Coffee is bottomless and tea is sweet.
